The Ashaiman brutality caused by some military men on civilians in Ashaiman has reached Stonebwoy.
Reacting to the news from his current base in New York, the Ghanaian dancehall star has condemned the act he has described as lawlessness.
In a press release, Stonebwoy said "it's 9 am in New York and I'm just waking up to the news of what's going on in my beloved Ashaiman".
He continued that "I unequivocally condemn all acts of violence and lawlessness, whether it relates to the brutalisation of innocent civilians or unlawful killing of a member of the armed forces. May all those culpable be found out and made to face the law fully".
This morning, 7th March 2023, an unofficial curfew has been imposed on the Ashaiman community after some military personnel stormed the area over the alleged murder of one of their colleagues.
Reports emerged over the weekend that a uniformed soldier had been killed by some unknown assailants in Ashaiman. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, while the rains were pouring, a group of soldiers stormed the community to enact revenge on civilians.
In videos that have gone viral on social media, the military could be seen beating up civilians at various points.
